Honig Vineyard and Winery

I first found Honig Vineyard and Winery on Instagram; they have super cute winery animals. (Wine and cute animals is pretty much my algorithm.) They are also family-owned, sustainably operated, and known for the Sauv Blanc and Cab Sauvignon (classic Rutherford).

We did the Terrace Tasting Experience. For $40 we tasted four wines. They were all delicious, but we didn’t end up taking any home.

The setting couldn’t be more picturesque. We sat in a beautiful redwood grove with a view of the sun setting over cabernet vineyards. We even got to take our third glass on a field trip and got to know those vines a little better. (You know how I feel about taking to grapes!)

Additionally, Honig is dog-friendly, has family-friendly tasting option in the mornings and loves bees. If you also love bees—hell, even if you don’t love bees, which you should, btw—check out their bathrooms!
